Known as the “Haiku Capital,” Matsuyama is the birthplace of Masaoka Shiki, who redefined haiku as a form of modern literature, laid the foundations of contemporary haiku, and gave it the name “haiku.” The city is also the cradle of haiku innovation. It is home to many sites associated with renowned poets, including the hermitage where Santōka Taneda spent his final years, making Matsuyama truly the spiritual home of haiku. In Matsuyama, haiku is deeply woven into everyday life and urban culture and is actively shared both within Japan and internationally, making the city a uniquely important source of modern haiku culture. Drawing inspiration from seasonal landscapes and historic settings, participants compose, share, and receive commentary on English-language haiku. Guided by an English haiku instructor, the program is designed to engage all five senses, allowing participants to experience both the depth of haiku and the rich charm of Matsuyama.
